This Day in World History – July 16

463 – Start of
Lunar Cycle of Hilarius.

1439 – Kissing is banned in England to stop Black Death
from spreading.

Cancer [June 22 – July 22] – Today you may put a lot of
energy into your romantic relationship, Cancer. The astral energy is
encouraging you to focus on romance. Give your significant other a special gift
to show how much you care, and spend some time alone together. Any romance
initiated or advanced today is likely to prove stable and long lasting. Don’t
let fear stand in your way. Move ahead.

Leo [July 23 – Aug. 23] – Too much work and the resulting
pressure over the past few days may have you feeling too tired to do anything
more, Leo, although your optimism and enthusiasm are still intact. Don’t be too
hard on yourself if you’re dragging by the end of the day. If you take care of
yourself, you will soon recharge and be your old self again. In the evening,
read a good book.

Virgo [Aug. 24 – Sept. 22] – Romance blossoms for you,
Virgo, perhaps after a long standstill. A new stability and security may settle
on love relationships as well as close friendships. Children could be a great
source of warmth and pleasure. You might want to channel some of this
blossoming positive energy into a creative activity of some kind, which should
increase even further your sense of contentment and well-being.

Libra [Sept. 23 – Oct. 23] – You might host a social
event in your home tonight, Libra. You may be nervous at first, wondering if
all will go well. Your efforts should produce the results you want. You might
be introduced to new contacts, which could lead to increased professional
opportunities. Take a walk after everyone has gone. Your mind will be going a
thousand miles an hour and you will want to clear your head.

Scorpio [Oct. 24 – Nov. 22] – Paperwork, perhaps
contracts or other legal documents, might need attention so you can move ahead
with your projects, Scorpio. These projects could involve writing or speaking.
Your mind is in just the right space to participate in anything involving
communication, so doors of opportunity may open for you in this area. Lift your
chin and get going. You will be glad you did.

Sagittarius [Nov. 23 – Dec. 21] – Your financial picture
continues to improve. At some point during the day, Sagittarius, you might have
the feeling that you aren’t working hard enough to keep up your current forward
motion, and you might worry. This could be a good motivator, but you don’t need
to push yourself much harder than you are now. You’re on a roll and it’s likely
to continue. Keep moving, but pace yourself.

Capricorn [Dec. 22 – Jan. 20] – Even though all continues
to go well for you, Capricorn, your mood may vacillate today. In spite of all
the great things in your life, at some time during the day you might feel a
little blue. Don’t read too much into it. It’s probably just the result of low
biorhythms. Try to distract yourself with physical activity. Go out with some
friends and have a good time this evening.

Aquarius [Jan. 21 – Feb. 18] – Trying to get too much
work done in the course of the day could prove self-defeating, Aquarius. Your
energy isn’t what it usually is, and you’re probably operating on adrenaline.
Consider the situation carefully and list your tasks in order of urgency. The world
won’t come to an end if you don’t get them all done by the end of the day. In
the evening, watch a movie and order a pizza.

Pisces [Feb. 19 – March 20] – A despondent friend may
need some cheering up. Your ability to nurture and listen sympathetically will
definitely prove beneficial, Pisces. Take care not to absorb any of this
person’s dejection. Your life should continue to go well with professional
successes leading to new friendships and goals. Hang on to your enthusiasm and
optimism while showing compassion for others.

Aries [March 21 – April 20] – Many projects to complete
before a deadline might have you feeling pressured, Aries, but your
determination is likely to drive you to try to get it all done even if it seems
impossible. Don’t try to do it all yourself. Ask for a little help. You can
accomplish your ends without putting undue pressure on yourself. Try to relax
today.

Taurus [April 21 – May 21] – You’ve been doing very well,
Taurus, but today you might feel more focused than ever. The path ahead seems
clear and well defined. You’re anticipating the future with motivation. You
might be considering a long trip abroad or perhaps going back to school for an
advanced degree. This is a good day to research and finalize your plans.

Gemini [May 22 – June 21] – Some kind of settlement, grant, or bonus that you’ve anticipated for a long time may finally show up, Gemini. This should make your day! You may want to celebrate. A chance to attend a large social gathering might come your way. Have fun! Tonight don’t be surprised if vivid dreams – some great, some sad – come your way. Keep a notebook and pen by your bed so you can write them down.
